Matthew P. Plouffe, of Dighton, MA did everything he was supposed to in order to be a law abiding gun owner.

Plouffe followed the state’s restrictive gun laws which require a Firearms Identification Card simply to own a firearm and bought his two pump action shotguns and black powder rifle legally. He stored his firearms with cable locks to prevent unauthorized use and made to transport his guns in a legal manner.

Being only 19, Plouffe, was limited in what guns he could legally purchase, which is why he stuck to shotguns and rifles.
